Volunteers of America OHIN - Fresh Start Recovery Center Evansville

Family-Focused Residential Treatment

Volunteers of America OHIN’s Fresh Start Recovery Center in Evansville provides residential addiction treatment specifically designed for pregnant women and mothers. The program’s home-like environment supports both recovery and parenting, allowing mothers to remain with their children while receiving care in a compassionate, structured setting.

Integrated, Trauma-Informed Approach

Treatment is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based care provided by licensed professionals. Counseling includes individual, group, and family sessions that address both substance use and emotional healing. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), such as buprenorphine and naltrexone when appropriate, are combined with therapy and peer support to strengthen long-term recovery.

Whole-Family Support

Beyond clinical services, the program offers on-site childcare, parenting education, and family coaching. Staff help mothers build parenting skills, improve family communication, and develop confidence in nurturing their children. These supports create a safe space for family restoration and growth during and after treatment.

Rebuilding Stability and Independence

The center provides case management, court advocacy, and practical support like transportation and housing connections to help families overcome real-world barriers. Intensive outpatient care, aftercare planning, and recovery coaching extend support beyond discharge, helping mothers maintain sobriety, find stability, and continue building a healthier future together.
